      Mail Order Bride: A Clean Western Cowboy Romance (Henry & Ella’s Story)

      By

      Joyce Melbourne

      Copyright 2015 Classic Western Romances Presents

      Synopsis: Mail Order Bride: A Clean Western Cowboy Romance (Henry & Ella’s Story),

      is about an overweight woman from London who decides to travel to San Francisco after corresponding with a store owner, and deciding that he would be a perfect match for her. Maybe he will be, but only if she can extricate herself from an increasingly more complex but less than perfect life in England.

      Henry Kent had idolized Jillian in a very private, restrained way since she became his tutor in 1885. He was a tall and gangly intelligent adolescent of 16, and she was a well-educated perfectly formed woman of 26. His mother insisted that he must have full mastery of mathematics, reading and writing before assisting his father in the general store in their hometown of Hurston.

      His father and mother were intelligent but had very basic skills that, if absolutely honest, they felt ashamed of and limited by. Henry’s parents, Elizabeth and Harold managed the general store from 8:00 in the morning to 8:00 in the evening, six days a week. Sundays were church and family days without fail. His parents lived within walking distance of the mercantile with him and his younger sister, Ann.

      The town folk loved them for their honest reliability and reasonable prices. They were a deeply religious family, and were respected for their fair consideration of the needs of their neighbors and their quality goods.

      Ann, a bubbly 13-year-old girl, was responsible for washing, cooking, and cleaning in preparation for life on the frontier. She also effectively managed the gardening because the family relished the taste of ripe fruits and vegetables daily. Ann had also doubled the garden’s production to be able to sell in the mercantile. She also loved to pick fresh flowers when they were in bloom. She arranged them in all four rooms of the cozy log cabin her family resided in.

      Every afternoon she delighted in her parents appreciation of the varied bunches she carried to the store. She really enjoyed her parent’s stories of different boyfriends, husbands and sons buying fresh buds to please the ladies in their lives. Henry was tutored and often found reading and studying lessons on his own daily. He was responsible for yard work and all cabin repairs as well. The Kents were a hardworking family driven to succeed in their rental store selling or trading foods, animal feeds and hardware of all varieties with the townsfolk.

      James Mason owned the general store and visited monthly from San Francisco to collect his rent. He was a middle aged heavy man whose gray hair was thinning, as his wallet was growing thicker. Everyone knew him and did their best to stay ingratiated to him. He owned many of the town’s shops and farmlands and he was strict about payments due. Mr. Mason was considered a hard and arrogant man.

      He was mistrusted because
